Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for filling)
• 1 cup fresh raspberries, plus extra for garnish

How to Make Raspberry Cream Sandwich Cookies

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
5. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. While the cookies cool, prepare the cream cheese filling. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 1/4 cup powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
8. Once the cookies are completely cool, spread or pipe a generous amount of cream cheese filling on the flat side of half the cookies. Top with a few fresh raspberries and then sandwich with the remaining cookies.
9. For an extra touch, dust the finished cookies with a little powdered sugar before serving.
